“No man hath ever seen God; the only begotten God, he who is in the bosom of his father,he hath declared [Him].”
From the 1858 Translation of the Syriac (Peshito) New Testament by James Murdock, which was written in the original Aramaic. One of the earliest extant copies of the New Testament, estimates range from 90-110 AD.
Oooppps...
Re-reading the appendix doesn’t give any numbers, per se.
But it makes strong argument that the version can be traced back to the latter part of the first century or at its latest, the early part of the second century.
So what that means in years, I’m not sure...
How interesting, I would like to investigate further this early Syriac version of the scriptures.
P66 and p75 “only begotten theos”, agrees.
